Ice Captain The Life of J.R. Stenhouse

Stephen Haddelsey

The gripping story of J.R. Stenhouse, whose ship, the Aurora, was supposed to give support to Shackleton

during his Antarctic expedition-but instead found itself caught in an ice floe and drifting out to sea

As Shackleton watched his ship Endurance become trapped in the ice floes of the Weddell Sea, on the other side

of Antarctica the expedition's second ship, Aurora, suffered an equally terrifying fate. Under the command of J.R.

Stenhouse, the Aurora was torn from her moorings and driven out to sea, becoming trapped in pack ice. For 10

months the ice sawed at her hull, until, with her rudder smashed and water cascading from her seams, she broke

free and embarked upon her own extraordinary voyage to safe harbor. In Ice Captain, Stephen Haddelsey reveals

both the story of Stenhouse's achievements aboard the Aurora, but also his many adventures in later life, from

serving as a U-boat hunter in WWI, to digging for pirate gold, and commanding Scott's Discovery. A captivating

book about a fascinating man.

Summary

Author BioStephen Haddelsey is the author of three critically acclaimed books on polar exploration, including Born Adventurer: The Life of Frank Bickerton and Shackleton's Dream: Fuchs, Hillary and the Crossing of Antarctica.

A Short History of Polar Exploration Nick Rennison

An absorbing history, bringing explorers' tales vividly to life

Apsley Cherry-Garrard, one of the men who went to Antarctica with Captain Scott, said "Polar exploration is at

once the cleanest and most isolated way of having a bad time that has ever been devised." Yet there has never

been a shortage of volunteers willing to endure the bad times in pursuit of the glory that polar exploration

sometimes brings. This compelling book tells the memorable stories of the men and women who have risked their

lives by entering the white wastelands of the Arctic and the Antarctic, from the compelling tales of Scott,

Shackleton, and Amundsen, to lesser known heroes such as Fridtjof Nansen and Robert Peary. This history also

looks at the hold that the polar regions have often had on the imaginations of artists and writers in the last 200

years examining the paintings, films, and literature that they have inspired.

Summary

Author BioNick Rennison is a bookseller, author, and editor whose titles include 100 Must-Read Classic Novels, The Rivals of Sherlock Holmes, and the Pocket Essentials Guide to Robin Hood.

Space Below My Feet Gwen Moffat

In 1945, when Gwen Moffat was in her twenties, she deserted her post as a driver and dispatch rider in the Army

and went to live rough in Wales and Cornwall, climbing and living on practically nothing. She hitchhiked her way

around, travelling from Skye to Chamonix and many places in between, with all her possessions on her back,

although these amounted to little more than a rope and a sleeping bag.When the money ran out, she worked as

a forester, went winkle-picking on the Isle of Skye, acted as the helmsman of a schooner, and did a stint as an

artist's model. And always there were the mountains, drawing her away from a "proper" job.Throughout this

unique story, there are acutely observed accounts of mountaineering exploits as Moffat tackles the toughest

climbs and goes on to become Britain's leading female climber-and the first woman to qualify as a mountain

guide.

Summary

Gwen Moffat was the first woman to qualify as a mountain guide in the UK and is one of the greatest female

climbers this country has ever produced. She is also a prolific writer and novelist, with more than 30 books to her

name.

Birdie Bowers Captain Scott's Marvel

Anne Strathie

Now in paperback, the story of Birdie Bowers-one of the four men who reached the South Pole with Captain

Scott-and his indefatigable spirit

Described by Captain Scott as "a marvel" and "indomitable to the last," Henry "Birdie" Bowers (1883-1912)

realized his life's ambition when he was selected for Scott's Terra Nova Expedition to the Antarctic, yet he was

only asked to join the team that would actually reach the South Pole at the last moment. He died on the return

journey, caught in a blizzard with Scott and Edward Wilson. Born to a seafaring father and adventurous mother

on the Firth of Clyde, Bowers' boyhood obsession with travel and adventure took him round the world several

times and his life appears, in hindsight, to have been a ceaseless preparation for his ultimate Antarctic challenge.

Only 5'4", he was nevertheless a bundle of energy: knowledgeable, determined, and the ultimate team player.

Norwegian explorer Amundsen. Ultimately, Scott was beaten by both. The journals are full of incident and drama,

courage and endurance, hope and bitter disappointment. These journals were found, along with Scott's body,

several months after his death and just 11 miles from base camp and safety.

Pole to Pole One Man, 20 Million Steps

Pat Farmer

The incredible story of Pat Farmer's inspiring run from the North Pole to the South Pole

In January 2012, Pat Farmer accomplished one of the greatest feats in human history. He'd arrived at the South

Pole after the longest and arguably most dangerous run ever made, a physical and mental triumph that put him in

the company of the world's greatest adventurers-Sir Edmund Hillary, Robert Falcon Scott, and Thor Heyerdahl.

Pat Farmer's Pole to Pole Run, dedicated to raising funds for the Red Cross, began at the North Pole in April 2011

and took him through Canada, the United States, Central America, and South America to his ultimate destination

in the Antarctic, the South Pole. In total, Farmer had covered more than 13,000 miles. He ran an incredible

average of 52.8 miles every day, and some days up to 62 miles or more. The epic trek saw Pat brave blizzards;

nearly lose his life when he became lost in the blazing deserts of Peru; and evade polar bears, snakes,

crocodiles, armed bandits, and rogue militias. He defied unimaginable pain, suffered dehydration and stress

injuries, and destroyed...

Summary

Pat Farmer's passion for ultra-marathon running began in the late 1970s. He set a number of ultra-marathon

Australian and World records, and before becoming a politician in 2001, he raised over $3 million for charity.

Avati Discovering Arctic Ecology

Mia Pelletier, Sara Otterstatter

The Arctic is not a barren, frigid landscape filled with only ice and snow. It is a complex ecosystem that contains

many thriving habitats, each supported by dozens of ecological relationships between plants and animals. From

the many animals that live and hunt at the floe edge to the hundreds of insects that abound on the summer

tundra, this book gives a detailed bird's-eye view of the fascinating ways that animals, plants, and insects

coexist in the Arctic ecosystem. This beautiful non-fiction book is appropriate for classrooms that adhere to

Common Core State Standards.

Summary

Having grown up on a large tract of boreal forest and wetland, Mia Pelletier was a student of the Canadian

wilderness from a young age. She later studied ecology and went on to become a field biologist, working with

rare plants and animals and exploring and living in many wild places throughout the world, including the Magdalen

Islands, the California Sierra and southwest desert, South America, Europe, and Asia. She relocated to Baffin

Island to work with the eastern Arctic seabird program, where she now spends her summers at various field

research sites throughout the Canadian Arctic archipelago and her winters working with a small Inuit community

to help develop management plans for adjacent protected areas.

Now available in paperback, the incredible story of Australia's most famous polar explorer and the giants from the

heroic age of polar exploration

Douglas Mawson, born in 1882 and knighted in 1914, was Australia's greatest Antarctic explorer. This is the

incredible account of an expedition he led on December 2, 1911, from Hobart, to explore the virgin frozen

coastline below, 2000 miles of which had never felt the tread of a human foot. After setting up Main Base at

Cape Denision and Western Base on Queen Mary Land, he headed east on an extraordinary sledging trek with his

companions, Belgrave Ninnis and Dr Xavier Mertz. After five weeks, tragedy struck-Ninnis was swallowed whole

by a snow-covered crevasse, and Mawson and Mertz realized it was too dangerous to go on. Dwindling supplies

forced them to kill their dogs to feed the other dogs, at first, and then themselves. Hunger, sickness, and

despair eventually got the better of Ninnis, and he succumbed to madness and then to death. Mawson found

himself all alone, 160 miles from safety, with next to no food. This staggering tale of h...

Shackleton's Dream Fuchs, Hillary and the Crossing of Antarctica

Stephen Haddelsey

The dramatic true story of the crossing of Antarctica

In 1914 Sir Ernest Shackleton embarked on what he called "the last great polar journey"-the . His expedition

ended in disaster, with the Endurance crushed and the frozen corpses of three explorers left on the Antarctic

plateau. Forty years later Vivian Fuchs and Edmund Hillary, the hero of Everest, set out to succeed where

Shackleton had failed-this is the full account of their travels. It details how despite the passage of four decades,

the Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition of 1955-58 encountered many of the obstacles that had so

hindered Shackleton-a chronic shortage of funds, inadequate equipment, and an early onset of pack ice. Even

more disastrously, it also suffered from a clash of personalities so severe that it came close to destroying the

expedition from within. Based upon interviews with the survivors and upon contemporary diaries and letters, this

book tells for the first time the epic story of this last great expedition of the "Heroic Age" of Antarctic

exploration.

The first biography of one of the lower-deck members of Scott's fatal Antarctic expedition

Edgar Evans was described by Robert Falcon Scott as "a giant worker . . . an invaluable assistant." He explored

more miles of Antarctica than any other member of the Terra Nova Expedition, but his contribution has been

largely overlooked because of the implication that, as he was the first to die, he slowed up the progress of the

return journey. This biography corrects this false impression, as well as redresses the balance of the attention

paid to the upper- and lower-deck members of the expedition. Having joined the Royal Navy as a boy sailor at

Call of the White Taking the World to the South Pole

Felicity Aston

An inspirational account of eight women on one very unique expedition

Felicity Aston challenged women in many countries, asking if they could ski to the South Pole, as she set out to

create the most international all-female expedition ever to the Pole. The team would not be experienced

explorers but "ordinary" women who want to inspire others to follow their dreams. She received more than 800

applications and led a team from places as diverse as Jamaica, India, Singapore, and Cyprus-some of whom had

never even seen snow or spent the night in a tent before joining the expedition-on one of the toughest journeys

on the planet. Eighty-mile-an-hour winds ripped through base camp, frostbite and injuries were an everyday

occurrence, and deadly crevasses cracked beneath their feet. This is their story of newfound strength,

persistence, and friendships.

Summary

Felicity Aston is an expedition leader, public speaker, and freelance travel writer. Her past achievements include

leading the first British women's team across Greenland, completing the infamous Marathon Des Sables across

discovered the lost city of Ubar in Oman and attempted to walk solo and unsupported to the South Pole. He was

the first man to reach both poles by surface travel and the first to cross the Antarctic Continent unsupported.

In 1993, Her Majesty the Queen awarded him the Order of the British Empire for "human endeavor and charitable

services." An elite soldier, an athlete, a mountaineer, and a renowned explorer, Fiennes describes here in his own

words his incredible journey through life.

A Negro Explorer at the North Pole The Autobiography of Matthew Henson Matthew Henson

When Commander Robert Peary reached the North Pole on April 6, 1909, one other American was with him-

Matthew Henson, a black man from Maryland who had been Peary's faithful companion through 22 years of polar

exploration. This is Henson's story in his own words, from his early years as a sailor to his meeting Robert Peary

and their multiple expeditions to the North Pole. Filled with hair-breadth escapes from disaster and haunting

evocations of life in the Arctic, this classic of exploration literature reveals Henson as the true hero of the

journey, one who had been forced to accept a lower status because of his race. It was Henson who learned to

speak the native tongue of the Eskimos, Henson who handled the dogs and broke the trail, and Henson who

arrived first at the North Pole after being purposely left behind by Peary. New to this edition are rare articles and

photos of the expedition that Henson published to set the record straight.

Summary

Matthew Henson was an explorer who was part of the first team to reach the North Pole in 1909. He is honored

today by a monument at Arlington National Cemetery, a U.S. postal stamp, and a U.S. naval ship bearing his

name. He died in 1955.

Everest Revealed The Private Diaries and Sketches of Edward Norton, 1922-24 Christopher Norton

The unpublished diaries and sketches of mountaineering legend Edward Norton

E.F. "Teddy" Norton was a member of the 1922 Everest expedition and the leader of the 1924 expedition.

Generally considered to be one of the finest climbers of his generation, in 1924 he reached a height of 28,126

feet without oxygen, a record that stood for 54 years. A few days later, Norton's fellow climbers Mallory and

Irvine disappeared high on the mountain, a mystery that has fascinated subsequent generations and remains a

topic of fierce debate today. The qualities of leadership which Norton showed that year in the face of appalling

trials have led to him being regarded as one of the greatest of all Everest expedition leaders. His official account

of the expedition has since become a classic. Norton's private diaries and sketches, published here for the first

time, give a vivid impression of the joys and trials of the early Everest expeditions. They also record the

landscapes, wildlife, flowers, and people encountered en route, and provide a glimpse of the lost world of pre-

war Tibet in color.

Summary

Christopher Norton is a professor of medieval art and architecture. He is the grandson of E.F. Norton, the

pioneering Everest climber and leader of the 1924 Everest expedition. The Norton family owns E.F. Norton's

diaries and sketchbooks from both the legendary 1922 and 1924 Everest expeditions.

Shipton & Tilman The Great Decade of Himalyan Exploration Jim Perrin

The award-winning author of The Villain tells the extraordinary story of two British mountaineers who single-handedly mapped out much of the Himalayas—including Everest—and the mountains of Africa.

Using unpublished diaries, Jim Perrin, the acclaimed author of The Villain and Menlove, tells the story of the

greatest exploring partnership in British history. In the 1930s Tilman and the younger Shipton pioneered many

routes in Africa and the Himalayas and found the key to unlocking Everest. They crossed Africa by bicycle,

explored China with Spender and Auden, journeyed down the Oxus River to its source and, with no support,

opened up much of the Nepalese Himalaya. In the words of Jim Perrin, ’The journeys of discovery undertaken

through two decades by this pair of venturesome ragamuffins are unparallelled in the annals of mountain

exploration.’

Jim Perrin writes of his source-material: ’These unpublished diaries, journals, and extensive correspondence have

not previously been used to present a portrait of the most productive friendship in the history of mountain

exploration. What they r...

Summary

JIM PERRIN is one of Britain’s most highly regarded travel writers and was one of the best British rock-climbers—

with many new routes, significant solo ascents and free ascents at the top standards of the day. He is a regular

contributor to the Guardian, the Daily Telegraph, Climber, The Great Outdoors and broadcasts regularly on radio.

His biography, Menlove, was the first outright winner of the Boardman Tasker Prize, for which all of his

A Passion for Mountains Hannah Burrows-Smith, Iain Peter

A Passion for Mountains presents a compilation of stories written by members of the British Mountain Guides.

Documenting both personal climbing and mountaineering adventures as well as those shared with clients, the

stories in this book represent the diversity of the mountain activities these professionals thrive on: from first

ascents on British winter cliffs to thought-provoking ascents of north faces in the European Alps, and from the

big walls of Yosemite and Patagonia to endurance when facing the challenges of the high Himalaya. This

fascinating account of mountaineering gives an insight into the climbing adventures that contribute to every

Guide's experience, and explores the difficulties that even some of the world's most experienced mountaineers

encounter when making decisions in the mountains. It gives us a unique perspective into what motivates and

drives climbers; where they find fulfilment and reward, and at the same time how they deal with failure.

On May 29, 1953, Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay were the first ever to set foot on the highest point on

Grandma Gatewood's Walk The Inspiring Story of the Woman Who Saved the Appalachian Trail Ben Montgomery

Emma Gatewood told her family she was going on a walk and left her small Ohio hometown with a change of

clothes and less than two hundred dollars. The next anybody heard from her, this genteel, farm-reared, 67-year-

old great-grandmother had walked 800 miles along the 2,050-mile Appalachian Trail. And in September 1955,

having survived a rattlesnake strike, two hurricanes, and a run-in with gangsters from Harlem, she stood atop

Maine's Mount Katahdin. There she sang the first verse of "America, the Beautiful" and proclaimed, "I said I'll do

it, and I've done it."

Grandma Gatewood, as the reporters called her, became the first woman to hike the entire Appalachian Trail

alone, as well as the first person-man or woman-to walk it twice and three times. Gatewood became a hiking

celebrity and appeared on TV and in the pages of Sports Illustrated. The public attention she brought to the

little-known footpath was unprecedented. Her vocal criticism of the lousy, difficult stretches led to bolstered

maintenance, and very likely saved the trail from extinction.

Mountain of the Dead The Dyatlov Pass Incident Keith McCloskey

The Dyatlov Pass incident resulted in nine unsolved, mysterious deaths; Keith McCloskey attempts to decipher

the bizzare events that led up to that night and the subsequent aftermath

In January 1959, 10 experienced young skiers set out to travel to a mountain named Mount Otorten in the far

north of Russia. Otorten translates to "don't go there" in the local Mansi language. During the trip, one of the

skiers fell ill and returned. The remaining nine lost their way and ended up on another mountain slope known as

Kholat Syakhl, or "Mountain of the Dead." On the night of February 1, 1959, something or someone caused the

skiers to flee their tent in terror, using knives to slash their way out instead of using the entrance. When they

failed to return home, search parties were sent out and their bodies were found, some with massive internal

injuries but all without external marks. The autopsy report showed that the injuries were caused by "an unknown

compelling force." Subsequently, the area was sealed off for years by the authorities and the deaths and events

of that night remained unexpla...

The truth about the 1996 Everest disaster by one of its survivors.

On the night of May 10-11, 1996, eight climbers perished in what remains the worst disaster in Everest’s history.

Following the tragedy, numerous accounts were published, with Jon Krakauer’s Into Thin Air becoming an

so important to an understanding of the disaster that he now questions why these facts were not made public

After Everest Inside the Private World of Edmund Hillary Paul Little, Carolyne Meny-Yee

A fascinating exploration of the life of mountaineer and adventurer Edmund Hillary, penetrating beyond the

legend to reveal a character of paradoxes

Edmund Hillary is a world icon and a towering figure among adventurers. The interest in him and in his family's

dedication to making a contribution to the welfare of the Nepalese people is well known. However, it is the drama

of Sir Edmund's later years that throw light into the world of the private man: the death of his wife and daughter

in an air crash, his remarriage to the widow of an old friend, and, finally, the falling out, after his own death, of

his widow and his eldest son, Peter. All these stories of the Hillary legacy, and the many books written about his

life, are about what he did, but this book explores who Edmund Hillary was and the many paradoxes of his

character: the individualist who always worked with a team, the lonely boy who ended up loved by millions, the

man who could be distant from his own children but is regarded as a surrogate father by thousands of Nepalese,

and the left-leaning thinker who accepted the high...

Tomaz Humar Bernadette McDonald

The heartbreaking, triumphant and inspirational story of the man who fled civil war in Yugoslavia and became one

of the world's greatest mountaineers.

In August 2005, Tomaz Humar was trapped on a narrow ledge at 5,900 metres on the formidable Rupal Face of

Nanga Parbat. He had been attempting a new route, directly up the middle of the highest mountain face in the

world - solo. After six days, he was in a desperate situation. Three helicopters were poised for a break in the

weather to pluck him off the mountain and, because of the audacity of the climb and the fame of the climber,

the world was watching via the hourly reports posted on his base camp website. Would this be the most

spectacular rescue in climbing history? Or a tragic death in the mountains?

Inuit Kinship and Naming Customs Pelagie Owlijoot, Louise Flaherty

Traditionally, Inuit do not call each other by their given names. Instead, they refer to each other using a system

of kinship and family terms, known as tuq&urausiit (turk-thlo-raw-seet). Calling each other by kinship terms is a

way to show respect and foster closeness within families. However, as more and more Inuit refer to each other

by their English first names, rather than their traditional kinship terms, the tradition of tuq&urausiit is slowly

disappearing. This book presents interviews with four Inuit elders from Kivalliq Region, Nunavut, about how names

were chosen, the importance of using kinship terms, and how the practice of tuq&urausiit has changed over the

years. Inuit Kinship and Naming Customs helps to preserve the knowledge of this tradition for younger

generations, both Inuit and non-Inuit.

The Art of Skiing Vintage Posters from the Golden Age of Skiing

Jenny De Gex

From the 19th to 20th century, skiing underwent great changes as it rose in popularity-as did the

advertisements and art of the sport, which have since become collectors' items

Immigrant Scandinavian gold miners chasing the Gold Rush mid-19th century introduced skiing to the United

States. By the turn of the 20th century, skiing had emerged from its utilitarian origins to become a fashionable

sport in both Europe and North America, and a wave of new, stylish resorts emerged. By the 1930s, skiing was

by far the most popular winter pastime for the rich and famous-combining adventure, fashion, and exclusivity.

The graphic art of the posters advertising this burgeoning sport have become collectors' items. The Art of Skiing

is a beautiful collection of the finest examples of poster art. Organized by country and resort, it uses posters

from the Beekley Collection-the largest private collection of ski art in the world-to reflect the changing trends in

skiing fashion and technique, and investigates the most popular resorts, their establishment, and their

development.

Jenny De Gex has brought her expertise as a visual interpreter to more than 100 books, on subjects from 17th

Running to Extremes Lisa Tamati

Lisa Tamati takes on some of the world's most extreme ultraraces in an inspiring look at the reality of a long-

distance runner

Lisa Tamati gets asked one question more than any other: why do you do it? Here she attempts to answer that

question and many more about ultramarathon running. In the past few years, Lisa has taken part in some of the

most grueling races on earth. Not content with having run the Badwater Ultramarathon once, she's been back

and done it a second time. She's also completed the Gobi March and a race in the Egyptian Sahara. However,

none of these could have prepared her for her greatest challenge to date-La Ultra, a 138-mile, nonstop race

over the two Himalayan mountain passes. This book tells the stories behind these races and provides plenty of

advice for runners of all levels and distances. Filled with training tips, gear lists, information on nutrition and

supplements, advice on mental preparation and, most importantly, a focus on how to keep healthy while training

and racing, it will inspire and motivate runners and nonrunners alike.

Summary

Lisa Tamati is the author of Running Hot. She has completed most of the world's toughest endurance races.

The Edge of Never A Skier's Story of Life, Death, and Dreams in the World's Most Dangerous Mountains

William A. Kerig

In the world of big-mountain skiing, Trevor Petersen was a legend. Appearing in countless films, magazines and

photo shoots, his ponytail flying behind him, he was the very embodiment of the freewheeling spirit of extreme

skiing in the 1980s and early '90s.

Then it all came to an end. On February 26, 1996, while skiing in Chamonix, France - the so-called Death Sport

Capital of the World - an avalanche swept Trevor away. His body was found sitting up in the snow as if gazing

at the mountains he loved.

Nearly a decade later, Trevor's fifteen-year-old son, Kye Petersen, a rising star in his own right, traveled to

Chamonix to ski the run that took his father's life and, with the aid of some of the world's greatest ski

mountaineers, to become a member of skiing's big-mountain tribe.

There to chronicle Kye's story was William A. Kerig, a filmmaker with a dream of his own - to create a film about

the soul of big-mountain skiing and the band of mountaineers who ski the steepest, wildest, most dangerous

terrain in the world.

In The Edge of Never, Kerig gives us not only a ripping adventure t...
